³¹And having taken the twelve aside, he said unto them, ‘Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be completed—that have been written through the prophets—to the Son of Man, ³²for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be mocked, and insulted, and spit upon, ³³and having scourged they shall put him to death, and on the third day he shall rise again.’ ³⁴And they none of these things understood, and this saying was hid from them, and they were not knowing the things said.

³⁵And it came to pass, in his coming nigh to Jericho, a certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging, ³⁶and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring what this may be, ³⁷and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene doth pass by, ³⁸and he cried out, saying, ‘Jesus, Son of David, deal kindly with me;’ ³⁹and those going before were rebuking him, that he might be silent, but he was much more crying out, ‘Son of David, deal kindly with me.’ ⁴⁰And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought unto him, and he having come nigh, he questioned him, ⁴¹saying, ‘What wilt thou I shall do to thee?’ and he said, ‘Sir, that I may receive sight.’ ⁴²And Jesus said to him, ‘Receive thy sight; thy faith hath saved thee;’ ⁴³and presently he did receive sight, and was following him, glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, did give praise to God.
